How are laser demonstrations – especially in classrooms – handled? Are they subject to CDRH rules?
No. The CDRH deals with commercial products only: either laser systems that are assembled to be sold to the public, or laser shows that are created (designed) to be “sold” as a “product” to an audience. Laser shows that are not part of a commercial endeavor are NOT subject to CDRH rules, no matter what power levels are involved. This was AMAZING to hear as it runs counter to just about everything I’ve read here and elsewhere, so I questioned Jerry at length about it.
